Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
Listing on NYSE
The board of directors (the Board) of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to pursue a listing of its shares of common stock on a national securities exchange. The Company has been cleared to file an application, and has applied, to list its shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange LLC (NYSE) under the symbol FSIC. Subject to NYSE approval, the Company currently anticipates that its shares of common stock will commence trading on the NYSE (the Listing) in April 2014, subject to market conditions and other factors. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the Listing within this time frame or at all.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
Pursuant to the Companys current distribution reinvestment plan (the Current DRP), stockholders may elect to have the full amount of ordinary cash distributions reinvested in additional shares of the Companys common stock. In contemplation of the Listing, the Board has approved the termination of the Current DRP, subject to the Listing. Pursuant to the Current DRP, the Company will provide written notice to participants in the plan in advance of the effective termination of the plan. Subject to applicable legal restrictions and the discretion of the Board, the Company expects to adopt a new distribution reinvestment plan following and in connection with the Listing. If and when the Current DRP is terminated and pending the adoption by the Company of any new distribution reinvestment plan, stockholders who had elected to participate in the Current DRP will receive cash rather than shares of the Companys common stock in respect of any cash distribution declared by the Company.
Termination of Share Repurchase Program
The purpose of the Companys share repurchase program is to provide limited liquidity to the Companys stockholders until the listing of the Companys shares on a national securities
exchange or other liquidity event. In anticipation of the Listing, the Board has determined to terminate the share repurchase program effective as of March 21, 2014 and not to conduct a quarterly tender offer pursuant to the share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2014.
Tender Offer
The Company anticipates that it will conduct a tender offer (the Tender Offer) to purchase up to $250 million in shares of its common stock in connection with the Listing, pursuant to which the Companys stockholders will be permitted to tender their shares of common stock to the Company for cash, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. The Company expects that the Tender Offer will commence at the time of the Listing and will remain open for a period of at least 20 business days following the date of the Listing. The terms of the Tender Offer, including the size thereof, will be determined by the Board prior to commencement of the Tender Offer.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of the Company. The Tender Offer will be made only pursuant to an offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related materials (the Tender Materials) that the Company intends to distribute to its stockholders and file with the SEC. The full details of the Tender Offer, including complete instructions on how to tender shares of common stock, will be included in the Tender Materials, which the Company will distribute to stockholders and file with the SEC upon the commencement of the Tender Offer. Stockholders are urged to carefully read the Tender Materials when they become available because they will contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer. Stockholders may obtain free copies of the Tender Materials that the Company files with the SEC at the SECs website at: www.sec.gov or by calling the information agent who will be identified in the Tender Materials. In addition, stockholders may obtain free copies of the Companys filings with the SEC from the Companys website at: www.fsinvestmentcorp.com or by contacting the Company at Cira Centre, 2929 Arch Street, Suite 675, Philadelphia, PA 19104 or by phone (877) 628-8575.
Special Distributions
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $124.2 million of undistributed net investment income and realized capital gains on a tax basis. As previously disclosed, the Company currently expects to distribute a portion of its excess income to stockholders in the form of special cash distributions, either in a lump sum or in a series of distributions following the Listing and the completion of the Tender Offer. The payment of any special cash distribution is subject to applicable legal restrictions and the sole discretion of the Board, and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distribution.
Appointment of Managing Director
On February 17, 2014, the Board appointed Sean Coleman as a managing director of the Company. Mr. Coleman was also appointed to the investment committee of FB Income Advisor, LLC, the Companys investment adviser (FB Advisor). Set forth below is biographical information pertaining to Mr. Coleman.
Sean Coleman serves as a managing director of investment management of Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliated investment advisers, FB Advisor, FS Investment Advisor, LLC, FSIC II Advisor, LLC, FS Global Advisor, LLC and FSIC III Advisor, LLC. Mr. Coleman also serves on the investment committee of FB Advisor. Before joining Franklin Square Holdings and its affiliated investment advisers in October 2013, Mr. Coleman worked at Golub Capital, where he served in various capacities, including as Managing Director in the direct lending group and as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of its BDC. Before he joined Golub Capital in September 2005, Mr. Coleman worked in merchant and investment banking, including at Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Wasserstein Perella & Co. Mr. Coleman earned a B.A. in History from Princeton University and an M.B.A. with Distinction from Harvard Business School, where he received the Loeb Award for academic excellence in finance.
Potential Purchase of Shares by Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. and Management
The Companys sponsor, Franklin Square Holdings, L.P. (Franklin Square Holdings) has informed the Company that it is considering purchasing, following the Listing and completion of the Tender Offer, up to $100 million in shares of the Companys common stock in open-market transactions (which may include 10b5-1 plans), subject to restrictions under applicable law. In addition, the Company has also been informed by certain members of the Companys management and members of management of Franklin Square Holdings that they are considering purchasing, following the Listing and completion of the Tender Offer, up to $25 million in shares of the Companys common stock in open-market transactions (which may include 10b5-1 plans), subject to restrictions under applicable law. There can be no assurance that Franklin Square Holdings or any members of the Companys or Franklin Square Holdings management will purchase any shares. Franklin Square Holdings and members of the Companys and Franklin Square Holdings management do not intend to participate in the Tender Offer.

Important Considerations
An investment in the common stock of FS Investment Corporation (FSIC, we or us) involves a high degree of risk and may be considered speculative. The following are some of the risks an investment in our common stock involves; however, you should carefully consider all of the information found in the section of our Forms 10-Q and 10-K filings entitled Risk Factors and in our other public filings before deciding
to invest in shares of our common stock.
An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including the lack of available information about these companies.
Investing in middle-market companies involves a number of significant risks, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
A lack of liquidity in certain of our investments may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, which may have a substantial negative impact on our investments.
We have borrowed funds to make investments, which increases the volatility of our investments and may increase the risks of investing in our securities.
We have limited operating history and are subject to the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business.
Our distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to us for investment.
This presentation is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of FSIC. The tender offer will be made only pursuant to an offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related materials (the Tender Materials) that FSIC intends to distribute to its stockholders and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The full details of the tender offer, including complete instructions on how to tender shares of common stock, will be included in the Tender Materials, which FSIC will distribute to stockholders and file with the SEC upon the commencement of the tender offer. Stockholders are urged to carefully read the Tender Materials when they become available because they will contain important information, including the terms and conditions of the tender offer. Stockholders may obtain free copies of the Tender Materials that FSIC files with the SEC at the SECs website at: www.sec.gov or by calling the information agent who will be identified in the
Tender Materials. In addition, stockholders may obtain free copies of FSICs filings with the SEC from FSICs website at: www.fsinvestmentcorp.com or by contacting FSIC at Cira Centre, 2929 Arch Street, Suite 675, Philadelphia, PA 19104 or by phone
at (877) 628-8575.

In addition, words such as anticipate, believe, expect and intend indicate a forward-looking statement, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those implied or expressed in the forward-looking statements for any reason. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: changes in the economy; risks associated with possible disruption in our operations or the economy generally due to terrorism or natural disasters; and future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in our operating areas.
We have based the forward-looking statements included in this presentation on information available to us on the date of this presentation. Except as required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to stockholders or through reports that we have filed and may file in the future with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. In addition, information related to past performance, while helpful as an evaluative tool, is not necessarily indicative of future results, the achievement of which cannot be assured.

Equity co-investment opportunities ($155 million at fair value) can lead to further NAV appreciation
CONTINUED MIGRATION INTO CORE STRATEGIES

Important considerations
An investment in the common stock of FS Investment Corporation (FSIC, we or us) involves a high degree of risk and may be considered speculative. The following are some of the risks an investment in our common stock involves; however, you should carefully consider all of the information found in the section of our Forms 10-Q and 10-K filings entitled Risk Factors and in our other public filings before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.
An investment strategy focused primarily on privately held companies presents certain challenges, including the lack of available information about these companies.
Investing in middle-market companies involves a number of significant risks, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
A lack of liquidity in certain of our investments may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, which may have a substantial negative impact on our investments.
We have borrowed funds to make investments, which increases the volatility of our investments and may increase the risks of investing in our securities.
We have limited operating history and are subject to the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business.
Our distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to us for investment.
This presentation is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities of FSIC. The tender offer will be made only pursuant to an offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and related materials (the Tender Materials) that FSIC intends to distribute to its stockholders and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FS Investment Corporation Applies to List on NYSE
Franklin Square and GSO / Blackstone ready $4.6 billion BDC for public trading
PHILADELPHIA, PA, February 19, 2014 FS Investment Corporation (FSIC) has applied to list its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol FSIC. Subject to NYSE approval, market conditions and other factors, FSIC currently expects trading to commence in April 2014.
FSIC is a business development company (BDC) that invests primarily in the floating rate, senior secured debt securities of private U.S. companies. The fund is managed by Franklin Square Capital Partners and sub-advised by an affiliate of GSO Capital Partners, the credit platform of Blackstone. Together, Franklin Square and GSO / Blackstone are the worlds largest manager of BDC assets, with over $9 billion across their funds.
When FSIC lists, it will be the largest initial listing of a BDC and will be among the largest BDCs in the market, with over $4.6 billion in assets under management and a portfolio consisting of over 180 companies as of September 30, 2013. This listing will be an important event for FSIC shareholders and certainly represents a significant milestone for our industry, said Michael C. Forman, Chairman and CEO of FSIC.
FSICs current annualized distribution rate is 8.55% based on its last publicly reported net asset value per share. In addition, the fund had generated approximately $124.2 million of undistributed net investment income and realized capital gains as of September 30, 2013. FSIC expects to distribute a portion of this excess income to stockholders in the form of one or more special cash distributions following the listing.
